Patent EP-0772032-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OKUMURA KATSUYA
IPC: H01L21/66
Filed: 1996-09-18
Abstract: A non-contact in-situ temperature measurement apparatus for a single crystal substrate such as a semiconductor wafer using X-ray diffraction. Utilizing the Bragg condition for X-ray diffraction, the lattice constant of the semiconductor substrate can be determined either by measuring the diffraction angle for a monochromatic X-ray (monochromatic approach) or by measuring the wavelength of an X-ray diffracted with a certain scattering angle (polychromatic approach). The lattice constant, as a well-known function of temperature, is finally converted into the temperature of the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: The motor vehicle has a rear seat with a folding cushion, whose upper region has a detachable connection to a cross beam (6). The end regions (14) of the latter can be attached to, and released from, fasteners (19) on opposing regions of the interior bodywork of the vehicle, relative to its direction of travel. In their attached position, the end regions of the cross beam form frictional connections with the opposing bodywork regions, using the fasteners. The latter may be in the form of clamps with conical recesses to accept the end regions of the cross beam, which may have corresponding conical engaging regions.

Abstract: An apparatus for continuously varying the position of an article carrying platform in response to an inflowing stream of articles placed on the platform. The platform positioning apparatus finds use as part of a vertical stacking machine which stacks an inflowing stream of signatures on the platform. It has a position sensor for detecting the position of the platform and providing a platform position signal to a controller. A controller issues a translation signal to translation means responsive to the platform position signal. Translation means causes the bidirectional translation of the platform responsive to the translation signal from the controller.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved rupture disk apparatus and manufacturing method. The apparatus includes a rupture disk having at least one area of weakness formed by the displacement of material through a partial shearing motion. The weakened area is capable of withstanding pressure cycling because the rupture disk flange acts to support the weakened area during use. The apparatus further includes a safety member adjacent to the rupture disk on the outlet side to ensure opening, the safety member having at least one rupture-initiating, stress-concentrating point positioned to contact the rupture disk weakened area.

Abstract: The nozzle includes three combustion chambers (20) (21) (22) and an outer flame retention ring (24) for supporting combustion of gaseous fuel over a range of volumetric flow rates. Combustion air is staged to each of the combustion chambers (20) (21) (22) and to the outer flame retention ring (24) for mixing with the fuel to form a combustible fuel-air mixture. Combustion occurs in the first combustion chamber (20) at relatively low flow rates of fuel. Combustion occurs in the second and third combustion chambers (21) (22) and the outer flame retention ring (24) with increasingly higher fuel flow rates. The second combustion chamber (21) is configured with a radially inwardly converging sidewall to provide for a smooth transition of the flame between the second and third combustion chambers. The nozzle is adapted for use in a high excess air burner.

Abstract: A minimum coordinate value at least in one direction of a parameter data group including a start point and an end point of a stroke is detected and outline coordinates are generated from the parameter data group by an outline coordinate generator and a minimum coordinate detector. An outline data generator stores range data indicative of a painting range into a predetermined address in an outline buffer on the basis of the outline coordinates and the minimum coordinate value or the maximum coordinate value. An address generator generates a drawing start address and an end address in a bit map memory in accordance with a value based on the minimum coordinate value and the predetermined address and with the range data. A painter paints by writing the same value into all data between the drawing start address and end address in the bit map memory, thereby generating a character pattern at a high speed by a buffer memory of a small capacity.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling transparency operatives
simultaneously with raster operatives in a graphics environment.
This is achieved by introducing filter operations to obtain the
effect of transparency. Filter operations work cooperatively with
grayscale and continuous-tone color raster operations. The
introduction of filter operations, and their cooperation with
raster operations allows this otherwise computationally complex
problem to be served by a single hardware circuit for use in real-time
applications such as monochrome and color laser printing. The
solution is also applicable to displaying complex graphics on a
video display device. A suitable apparatus receives graphics
language commands which define the image to be displayed and
generates a set of graphics orders from the graphics language
commands representing the image to be displayed. The apparatus
includes an image generator for generating a bitmap image from the
graphics orders. A raster operation model is used for processing
multiple-bit pixels in a source, in a pattern and in a
destination, and a filter operation model is used for processing
multiple-bit pixels in the source, pattern and destination. The
raster operation model and the filter operation model operate
cooperatively to modify the destination.
